Hi, Hades! I have many things that I'd like to talk to you, especially for the Project "TCG Illustrators' Bracket 2025 - 2026".
I'm now working to bring the bracket back soon after postponing for quite a long time (I'm sorry for that). I've found 103 illustrators who have illustrated all of the illustration rare cards (plus the specials) which was released from November 2025 to the end of October 2026. The list of illustrators found is right here:
(Download the file above in case that you want to view it offline. Some promo cards are also used as they are in the same form as the other cards.)
Before the Secret Rare Division of the bracket starts, I'd also like to make the Friendly Division (just like when players are playing friendly matches — a few illustrators will be chosen at random, and you will choose the illustrator who has the best artworks. The winner of the round in this division doesn't matter anything — just for fun.)
The full rules of each division will be share to you later. Have fun in the forums, and I'll see you later!

I've made changes to the file so that you can see why Yuka Morii isn't in the list. He/she also illustrated a few secret rare cards, but his/her artworks aren't recent enough.
Yuka Morii should still be in the Friendly Division, hopefully.

Yuka Morii is A) unfairly discluded and B) mine and a lot of other people’s favorite artist

Hey! An example round for the Friendly Bracket is ready to receive your votes. Stay tuned until the discussion is approved!

... I laughed 4 times... "SHSHSHSHDHDBDBBSHSHD" from Hunter a minute in. Camila when she was compared to a dog and then the part right after with the "Human feak out just like (g)us" pause and slow down. And then I completely forgot Gus said "Boo! Lie to me!" so I was taken by surprise and laughed. I ALMOST (but didn't) laugh at "Don't worry Flap is Belos is here I'll protect you". You sure about that, blud?

I’m probably going to take a break off the forums for a bit my mental health has been really negatively impacting me it just takes every ounce of energy to just go foward a few steps my motivation has plummeted to the negatives

Hey... You can take a break... But please don't isolate yourself. It's seriously not healthy. I will always listen, no matter how dark or "pointless". I care and I'm here. Please. You do need you time but don't let yourself be captured by dangerous thoughts. Kay? Have a good rest. And I'm giving you some good things others write about their mental health. Finding people that share similar emotions can be helpful. Um... I... Okay. Bye. I'm here. 🧡❤️🧡

Hades0918
NNOOOOOOO!!! The writing I was gonna give you isn't there anymore! Sigh Listen, Fortelling has a lot of depressed people. It's also a great way to anonymously express yourself. Very supportive community that has helped me through so much of my depression. Just... Give some of them a read, yeah?

I don't have much to say, but I hope it gets better for you. And everything Hades said is true, but I want to focus on the isolation thing. It can, indeed, make things worse and accidentally give you negative associations with what you're avoiding or make you feel like it'd make it worse, which isn't good in the long-term. However, that doesn't mean you need to check every post and notification and wall. Instead, I just recommend using the forums to a limited degree (e.g. commenting very rarely or not at all, avoiding threads that are long or got too many new comments, not reading anything that might tire you too much, only clicking posts that interest you, etc.), which can give you a sense of progress (letting you see just HOW much energy you have and what your limits are, and if the progress is negative, don't worry. That's normal sometimes) and it doesn't leave you all alone or make you associate the place with worsening those negative emotions.

UZ is right. But I came here with a reason. Listen... Cal… Ugh I'm about to share a lot. Possibly over share. Delete if you want. Sorry if I overstep any internet line. But I care about you. A lot. I... I can't let you go without telling you that. I genuinely consider you a good friend. I know I know almost nothing about you irl but you seriously mean a lot to me. You were one of the first people here that I felt comfortable with. You seriously helped me find my place and confidence. And you are so cool and creative and talented. I admire you. You are seriously so incredible. And I'm sorry. I... I feel like I failed you. I should have done more. Been there more. In my time of need you were there for me. I don't mention it much here but trust me I talk about it to everyone else I know. Seriously, you listening to me despite not having to meant so much to me. But yet in your time of need I didn't make enough effort to keep in touch with you. I was afraid of over stepping some line. But I can't let you go without me saying everything on my mind. I always get so excited when I see a notification from you. I enjoy when you're around. You have awesome ideas and when it's something like rp you are the best of the best. And your story creations... You have some of the greatest, most original ideas out there. No one could ever replace you and barely anyone can complete. I don't want to let you isolate yourself. I know where the thoughts go when you're alone. I can't say such a thing here in a kid's place but I don't want you leaving more than just the Forums. You are cared about. You mean something. I may not have things as bad as you do. Yours is way worse. But I can to an extent relate with you. And even the things I haven't experienced I can understand and listen to. I'm not forcing you to stick around or talk to me. But you are genuinely one of my favorite people to be around and I don't want you hurting yourself. I'm not saying you have to stay active or force yourself to do something you don't want to. I really like UZ's idea but I can't force you into that either. I just... I want to remind you that you're not alone. And that you have someone there for you. That cares about you. Again, I know that I don't actually know you. I've never even seen your face. But you mean a lot to me and I don't want you to feel unwanted. So... Yeah. I just poured my heart out. Sorry if I crossed any boundaries. But I couldn't let you leave without telling you all that. So... Bye

Hmmm I've noticed one like that before..... Are they not supposed to? Or is it so we can't bug them, 🤭, not that we do.... or do we?

Thank you for all the appreciation yesterday!!!
Even though I wasn't here, the vibes were felt and helped me keep a cool head in yesterday's UNITE in-game tournament.
Thank you all!

(TBH, I thought they forgot about me.... Then I figured they were doing the smaller stars or younger people but realized that wasn't correct.)

4th place in the tournament, right? And this is for everyone! No age or rank needed! I'm waiting on UZ's...
-
Hades0918
But I'm so happy you got one! I've been waiting for you to get one since the very beginning! I can't believe I almost forgot to mention your Unite skills... How humiliating! Anyways, I... Had something I was going to say... Dang me and my tired brain. Anyways, I'm so glad I met you. Happy to have you here!
-
Dragonfly102024
Full team 5v5. No rank requirements so all skill levels. Yeah, there are much better teams out there... Yet I felt we did awesome!
-
Hades0918
Hey no problem with that! Had a good time, right? That's all that matters! And 4th place is impressive! And it doesn't matter what rank you got. Seriously, you're the strongest AND coolest Unite player I've ever seen! ✨️😎✨️
-
Dragonfly102024
☺️☺️☺️ Thank you, @Hades0918 ! I'm glad to have met you too. (And Yes! I had a good time on Sunday. We all tried to be positive and everything just felt better.)
-
Dragonfly102024
That's a definite YES YES, @Ember2026 ! We just need to keep practicing and vibing as a team. Maybe try out diff strategies or have them as backup plans in case the other teams adapt to our current strategies... 🤫.... Excellent job, @Ember2026 !
-
Dragonfly102024
@Hades0918 .... Did UZ play in the tournament too? Does @TheJeffers play Unite also?
-
Dragonfly102024
Ah ok, in the tournament, we played against someone with a name very similar to @TheJeffers.... But the location would probably be wrong since you sign up to battle on certain servers. For us, it was the NorthAmerican servers. However you can sign up and play through any server you prefer, someone on our team is not from North America. You just need to be aware there may be lag... Hmmm....

IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING have you considered getting a new dog? I know Puppup meant a lot to you and I remember how I felt when I lost my pet. When I got a new one she didn't replace my lost one but still kinda heals the part of you that hurts. But I know this is a sensitive topic so if you don't want to talk about it that's fine. I won't push I promise. Just wondering.
-
Dragonfly102024
I might.... Someday..... Right now I'm not sure I'm ready for a new puppy. Thinking wistfully about puppies... If I found the right dog, maybe....
-
Hades0918
Makes sense. There's never a rush! If the right one comes to you, take the opportunity. But if not that's fine. Just cherish what you used to have and let yourself heal. (I probably sound so dumb lol

I feel nothing just a husk without a soul motivation is meaningless It just is hard to slouch myself out of bed indifferent to all the topics I like demise my only company

You know... I've found that hearing others' depression and talking to those in a similar place to me can be quite helpful... I doesn't fix everything but it relieves some stress. Would you like me to give you links to a few good rants? If I can figure out how to anyways

Dang it I didn't see this… Life isn't the best right now. I'm stressed, over worked, my brain hurts, and (as much as I hate to admit it) depressed. Everything in me feels like it's breaking and my mind is shut off. Even when I'm in a good mood I'm not actually happy. Sigh Sorry, I rambled. Um, yeah. I'm just not okay. But hey! I'm alive if that means anything! Future plans? I intend to move to Germany to take advantage of free college. In all honesty, though, I might not even finish college. Just move there and start a new life. I'm not sure. This will also allow me to finally go to the UK! I have someone that lives there that I can't wait to see! Honestly, my future actually looks hopeful! What about you?

"I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waitin' for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love, not knowin' what it was
I will not give you up this time
Darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listenin' to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, "Darling, you look perfect tonight"
Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday, I'll share her home
I found a love to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love, fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand, be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listenin' to our favourite song
When I saw you in that dress, lookin' so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
No, no, no
Mm-hm
Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listenin' to our favourite song
I have faith in what I see, now I know I have met
An angel in person, and she looks perfect
I don't deserve this, you look perfect tonight"
Ed Sheeran
I know I've shared the title of the song before
But it is so great I felt the need to put the lyrics
Like...
As the song implies this is perfection
Enjoy it

I guess it's a random question, but I noticed you've been online really early for your time zone. I hope you get to sleep soon. I've been sleeping early and waking up early, and thankfully my sleep hasn't been too bad.

He gets up around 6am to talk to Mion who's 6 hours ahead of him. He gets one week where it shifts to 5 on the 25th when Europe falls back before we do on the 1st. So yeah all to do with his gf.

Might as well be as I see it. To quote a certain Animé...
May not be quite applicable here but it fits in my book given how frequently you two meet up at a given time.

Does somebody have a secret life beyond us there not talking about judging by the way in my head I hear "We're not" sounds like you said it in a loud tone and slightly blushing good for you ❤️❤️

Season 2 still hasn't made it onto Netflix yet. It's on Netflix Asia but not in USA market yet unless you plop down for a Crunchyroll subscription. Season 3 is in production right now but as far as beyond that I don't know.

I feel sort of bad for the user appreciation post cause I feel like I could say more and that I should but I don’t know what to say or realize I don’t know as much as I thought I did about them I feel I’m failing as a friend
0September 26-
Hades0918
Yeah... I actually get that. I felt like for Osho I had so much I should have said but couldn't because I don't know him that well. So I'm just making it a goal to put more effort into the friendship!

I keep feeling this like I want to say more about them yet I don’t seem to know what to say

Hades0918
Hey! Just... using a random post here to check on you. How are things going? How do you feel? Anything to at least look forward to?
-
clasingla
nothing to look forward too except an event at swig kind of feeling depressed with absolutely no motivation to do anything and just indifferent to everything
-
Hades0918
Wow... I kinda feel ya. I'm sure mine isn't as bad as what you're going through, though. Anything you wanna talk about?

IP configuration error for over 11 hrs. And since internet was down, there isn't a way to contact them. Just had to wait. It kicked me out of MC last night, couldn't play with my usuals at night in Unite, and again this morning .... nada. Welp, at least it's back on ...... for now 🙂.

Hii!! Just wanted to apologize about the whole Showdown thing.
I wasn't aware that non-official links were banned and I apologize for any inconveniences I caused.
